Ask HN: First SeeqPod, then Grooveshark, now Spotify – Why different outcomes?
Music streaming services were the next revolution after Napster, eMule, Morpheus, Kazaa and other P2P providers.SeeqPod was bought out by Sony, Grooveshark now is shutting down and Spotify is leading the pack. Why are the outcomes so different for the same business models?
"Mark Zuckerberg admits in a New Yorker profile that he mocked early Facebook users for trusting him with their personal information."
BBSs, TheWell, Compuserve, Prodigy, AOL, TheGlobe, Geocities, Friendster, MySpace, Facebook, what's next? Fill in the blank I guess.
DMOZ, Yahoo, HotBot, WebCrawler, AllTheWeb, Excite, AltaVista, Lycos, Google, what's next? Too hard to tell.
Google was founded on principles in artificial intelligence and now has a good handle on how to implement portions of AI along with all the other things they're doing.
Facebook was founded by a guy who was a voyeur and called its users "dumb f*cks" for giving out personal information while rocking a biz card that said "I'm CEO, bitch!".
Big difference and big difference in revenue too.
